How to Make Apple Everything Cake

  1. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch fluted cake pan.
  2. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  3. In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 cups granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 3 cups peeled and chopped apples, 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans), and 1/2 cup raisins (optional).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For best flavor, wrap the cooled cake tightly and refrigerate overnight before slicing and serving.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder before serving.
